Ok i'm very new at this, i figured i could start learning stuff on my spare time, so i bought 100$ wort of LEDs, capacitors, resistors, etc to play around.
so i'm making a circuit, and i have abot 30 different type of resistors with me, i need one that is 330ohm, according to online source, its color is orange orange brown. However, all my resistors have 5 bands of colors, am i only suppose to read the 3 in the middle? I know one is for tolerance, but what about the 5th?
also how do you know if you're reading from left to right or right to left?
orange, black, red ....or red, black orange ? know what I mean
Thanks for any input,
i'll probably be asking more noob questions in the next few days.
